Answer:

x=3 and y=4

Explanation:

Step: Solvex+y=7for x:

x+y=7

x+y+−y=7+−y(Add -y to both sides)

x=−y+7

Step: Substitute−y+7forxinx+2y=11:

x+2y=11

−y+7+2y=11

y+7=11(Simplify both sides of the equation)

y+7+−7=11+−7(Add -7 to both sides)

y=4

Step: Substitute4foryinx=−y+7:

x=−y+7

x=−4+7

x=3(Simplify both sides of the equation)
